    Mückenstich?


    Hey Leute! Ich bin vor ein paar Monaten nach Zypern gezogen. Und wurde vor 3–4 Tagen in meinen Fuß gebissen. Es fing klein an, wurde aber von Tag zu Tag röter, geschwollener und größer. Heute ist der rote Bereich etwa 10 cm groß und breitet sich immer noch aus (heute Morgen wurde der Rand markiert – bereits hinter der Linie). Mein Partner hält es für eine Spinne, ich für eine Mücke. Sieht das bei Zypernmücken normal aus oder sollte ich zum Arzt/Apotheke gehen? Danke <3

      I have never had a mosquito bite this bad. Look it would never hurt to visit a doctor and 10cm red area is quite large. Maybe put some cream on it tonight and see a doctor tomorrow (or at least a pharmacy). Don’t skip it though, especially since it gets worse

      I’ve never had a mosquito bite look like that. They look infected. Go to a doctor.

      „Spider bite“ is kind of a meaningless phrase unless you actually saw a spider bite you. People attribute all kinds of things as spider bites, but spiders mostly don’t bite people on random flat surfaces.

      Once I had such a bite, i was walking and suddenly got a similar red spot, it was itchy and hurt a bit. Symptoms are individual, so it’s really better see a doctor or at least ask a pharmacist.
      I don’t know what was it, definitely not a mosquito, it could be a small fly.

      I have those a week later, after getting bitten by mosquitoes. In Limassol, it affects me a lot compared to Larnaca. Taking antihistamines helps

      Could be an infected mosquito, or you might have developed some sort of allergy to insect bites. Not medical advice, but I would suggest treatment with some fucicort cream. If it does bot subside and it’s hot to the touch and/or painful I would suggest a quick pharmacy visit. They might give you some antihistamine to take in the case of said allergy.

      Those look like an allergic reaction. I’ve had the same reaction when a specific (probably invasive breed, as I never had them as a child nor have a reaction like this to every mosquito bite) type of mosquito bite me. They tend to stay up to 1 month and they itch a lot. Better to go pharmacy so they can give you something to heal it faster.

      If you want relief until you see a doctor, try fusicort. It’s the one that works for my kids when they get bitten by mosquitoes (some cause them allergic reactions, especially my youngest). It’s a combination of antibiotic cream and corticosteroids, to stop both the itching and the cause of it.

      For general reference: Don’t use fusicort for simple mosquito bites as it can lead to antibiotics resistance

      I know everyone has mentioned a different insect at this point, but I recognise these as flea bites. They are very itchy and most times will be on the lower part of your legs (unless they got you while you were lying down). Flea bites sometimes appear in clusters of 2-3 in close proximity to each other, which I can see is the case now. Stop scratching, the redness will stay much longer if you don’t leave it alone. There are some insect bite stickers you can use to stop yourself from scratching it. It will take a few days to get better.

      I had something very similair recently, This is a bite but idk if it’s mosquito… Go to pharmacy and ask for fucidin cream, mine is healing better since using

      This is Skeeter Syndrome, unfortunately I know this from personal experience, it kicked out of nowhere a few years ago. It burns a lot and gets super swollen. You need a strong mosquito repellent with Picaridin, I recommend Jungle strength 4. It stinks but it WORKS up to 9 hours. If you get bitten, you need to start antihistamines Ceritirzine is good. Also apply ice 15 mins each time, as much as you can, it’s the ONLY thing that helps. Avoid Ibuprofen if you can, if you suffer take it but don’t overdo it. If you apply all else above you will be relatively fine.

      EDIT: Forgot to say: You can apply hydrocortisone cream once bitten but if you skip antihistamines and ice, you will have a tough time.
      Apply Jungle spray ANYWHERE you are exposed, I’d avoid face, however they like certain blood types so much they went for my forehead several times so I ended up using it around my fotehead, neck and ears a little.

      Also, whatever you do… DO NOT SCRATCH!
